Read about current projects, promotions, new songs, and music downloads.
Progressive industrial music group Euphonic Dissonance takes on the task of re-imagining the Ministry song PSALM 69. Here's an update on their progress. This song will be entered into a contest to be featured in the upcoming movie soundtrack for FIX - a movie about Ministry.
Here's what a certain Ministry's Psalm 69 sounds like when you pump it through the Euphonic Dissonance musical grinder. What's different than the previous blog about this song? - well, we added some delightfully distorted guitars to the mix. Their just rough cuts on the guitar parts. Will hopefully do some more work on that tomorrow but got caught up in rounding out the song in other ways. Sorry for the bridge fade but there isn't much going on beyond the bridge that isn't a train wreck. That will be resolved very soon.
Trying to drop some very subtle hip-hop elements into the drum mix. Can't wait till this bad angry child is fully grown. Such a great song and we are having a great time working on this one.
and now.....some fun Ministry lyrics

Love everyone. Leave us luscious comments about how much you love Ministry's music. Thanks.
Great news. Euphonic Dissonance will be working on a re-thinking of Ministry's song "Psalm 69". We're going to be submitting our little tidbit into this fine contest put together by Tunecore and Ministry. We are so frikkin' pumped about this.
Paul Barker (bass guitarist, producer and engineer for Ministry) is providing bass tracks and all the samples for producing the song. He'll also be judging the contest. Our stuff is going to be heard by one of the founding members of Ministry whether we win or not - again folks - THIS IS HUGE!!!! If we win the contest our song will be included on the companion album to the film.
Here is the original song and corresponding video.
Sorry about that chaotic ending to the song. If you actually made it to the end there is a chaotic little mistake that's quite loud and abrasive. Well, that's all for now. I imagine you'll hear more on our progress very soon. So, Ministry fans - what's your favorite Ministry song?
Brian brings us new photos from the CUBED PROJECT. Sarah Star and Brian Copeland inside a box.
Five years ago I participated in Geoffrey Hicks' cubed project. During 18 months from 2005 to 2006 Geoffrey photographed one hundred different individuals inside a white cube. Wanting to create a uniquely interactive way to display the series as a single piece, he created a special digital picture frame with an integrated sensor. As a viewer walked up to the display, the photographs changed based on the viewer’s distance to the screen. This is how the project was presented to the public in gallery.
Now it is 2010 and Geoffrey is returning to this unique project but this time he's raising the bar to include one thousand individuals into the format. Here are photos of Sarah and I inside Geoff's cube. Enjoy. Lovely work Geoffrey. Looking forward to seeing this project when it's finished.
Here are some of Brian's pictures from the previous project 5 years ago.
Please leave comments and tell us what you think of the new pics.
Haven't posted anything from the Tech Messiah recording sessions in awhile so we thought we would give you some of the newest stuff that we're working on. Here's a couple of brand spankin' new tracks that need a whole lot of work. They aren't complete songs yet so there will be a rather abrupt fadeout when they end but we wanted to give you something juicy and let you know that we are still hard at work on this album. Give them a listen and then tell us what you think.
The first track - love where that one is going. The second track - not so much so but it might grow on us. Please give us your opinion on these new songs. Thanks. Love you all.
Brian brings terrible news from inside the Euphonic Dissonance recording studio.
Somehow we have lost the multi-track master for the song Black & White. It's our tribute song to David Bowie referencing his popular 1969 song Space Oddity . In our song Major Tom finally returns to earth after some 30 years in space.
Yesterday I was going to remaster this particular track only to find out I couldn't find it on the harddrive. After feverishly searching our database I've determined that it just doesn't exist anymore. Probably a simple user error that accidentally deleted the file. The last time the file had been accessed was way back in 2007 and our back-up only goes back one year.
What does this all mean? Well, we obviously have the original finished song or I wouldn't have been able to post it into this blog for your listening pleasure. However, it's the original Sonar files that have been deleted so now we have no way of fixing the mix, changing vocals or editing guitar parts. Looks like this on the computer -
It gives us the ability to manipulate each individual part of the song and in the case of "Black & White" we can no longer do that.
ALL IS NOT LOST!!! This has been a lesson in learning to let go and understanding how to work with what we still have. We still have the basic music bed that contains the drums and probably bass part of the song. Someday we'll be able to build on that and basically recreate the song. Also, before the tracks were lost we created a live mix so we will be able to perform this song in our live shows. It is a setback but it will not stop us from completing the TECH MESSIAH album and we will continue forward with our stage show plans. We'll just have to come back to "Black & White" later and when we do I imagine it will sound quite different so enjoy this mix while you can because it's the only one like it in existence.
The crying is over and we move on. Thanks for being such supportive fans. We love you all.
Euphonic Dissonance gives this video a big thumbs up. If you love all that is geeky and nerdy you must see this video.

Brian of Euphonic Dissonance gives us news on the loss of the historic ADMIRAL TWIN DRIVE-IN in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
TMZ gave the Admiral Twin Drive-In the press attention it needed after fire destroyed this historic landmark where the 1983 movie THE OUTSIDERS (starring Matt Dillon, Tom Cruise, Patrick Swayze, Ralph Macchio, and Diane Lane) was filmed. Okay, it was really TMZ.com - but that's still amazing. This may be the best publicity this old theater gets - so make sure you go to the blog and post a comment showing your support for the Historic Admiral Twin Drive-In. Here's the blog entry...
A drive-in movie theater in Oklahoma burned down yesterday -- was it arson, a freak accident or the work of ... the devil?
See, this Tulsa landmark -- The Admiral Twin, which opened in 1951 -- was playing "The Last Exorcism." It was also playing "Predators," but those aren't real -- so we can rule them out as a suspect.
Bill French, Tulsa Fire Department public information officer, told the Tulsa World on Friday night that investigators were still not sure how the blaze started.
TMZ contacted the Tulsa Fire Department to see if they suspected a demon, someone possessed by a demon or even Satan himself had something to do with the blaze.
There are several comments on said blog from NATIVE TULSANS who seem to be upset that TMZ would poke fun at such a tragic situation. HELLO PEOPLE - it's TMZ for god's sake!!!??? That's what they do!!! They make fun of stuff. Try to use the blog for something positive you nimrods!!! If you're so upset about your precious tulsa landmark burning to the ground then you had better post a link where people can go to help save this much missed landmark. Something like this...
or .... if you're in tulsa and want to hear some live and help the devastated drive-in - then you should go to this. Click the pic for a full size flyer.
Keep up the great work TMZ. It may have been a tragic event for those of us that live here but I've got to admit - your blog was very funny. Just keep doing what you do best. Tulsa will heal with time.
